Hmm. Just a few last word from the author. Reviewed this? You should have a mention on the bottom. And hey! If it ever bugged you exactly who wrote/performed the songs I used as chapter titles – this one's for you!
When I started this fic I thought it would be about 5 - 10 chapters at the most. Silly me. Once I had started I found myself naming the chapters after songs I knew. So – here's the list of all the songs and artists…
Why Does It Always – First song I picked. Proper title is Why Does It Always Rain On Me by Travis. I don't like 'em – it just fitted nicely.
Stuck In The Middle With You – Steelers Wheel. (sp?) Started getting into the idea of using song titles for chapters.
I Think We're Alone Now – Tiffany! Oh yeah I am old enough to remember this. Well it made me laugh anyway…
What Have I Done To Deserve This? – Ahh The Pet Shop Boys feat Dust Springfield. I blame my brother for all the PSB's songs – he used to be a big fan.
Hello? Is It Me You're Looking For - not actually a song I really like. But it's Stevie Wonder, if you wondered. (yes that was a really bad pun wasn't it)
Faster – Manic Street Preachers. Undoubtedly one of the best songs by one of the best bands ever. No contest.
White Wedding – hehe! *chuckles* how many of you recognised this Billy Idol song then? Go on admit it!
Take On Me – AHA – being of course the definitive version. The original and still the best. (A1 should never have even thought of covering it)
Livin On The Edge – this will be Liv Tyler's dad singing then. Yep – Aerosmith.
Dream A Little Dream Of Me – not the original – I'm not 100% sure who did it first. I was thinking of the Beautiful South version.
Don't Speak – No Doubt. Not a really a fan – and what goes on in Gwen Stefani's head to make her think she looks good dressed like that?!
Paid In Full – Eric B & Rakim. Because it amused me.
Underwater Love – Levi's ad. Oops! Can't remember who this was by. Wasn't that good anyway! One – hit –wonder.
Suspicious Minds – Elvis. Say no more.
Mysterious Ways – U2. The first song of theirs on this list. Not the last.
Chains – hey one-hit-wonder! Tina Arena!
Animal - *grins* Def Leppard. That's the other brother's fault.
Don't Lose Your Head – Queen. Hey – it's from the soundtrack to Highlander! A film about immortals. (note subtle link between highlander and LOTR – both immortals. Hmm must be a conspiracy)
Whose Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses – one of the few chapters written specifically to fit in the song title. I happened to be listening to it when I was writing a previous chapter and changed the story for the song.
Crying – ooooh Roy Orbison. Him of 'Pretty Woman'song fame.
What's Going On – Marvin Gaye. A man who had an amazing talent.
Blurry – Puddle Of Mudd. read the lyrics before I heard the song. I do like this, even if I'm not 100% sure about their other stuff.
In Too Deep – Sum41. I am a rocker at heart.
Stone Cold Crazy – More Queen. Freddie rocks.
Walking Contradiction – Green Day. Picked for the title.
Heaven Is – Def Leppard. Again. It's the whole big hair thing – does it for me every time!
Mary's Joint – Mary J Blige. Chosen mainly because it had 'Mary' in the title and I wanted something for the 'sues'
Party Hard – Andrew WK. I like this – especially when I've had a little too much to drink…
Dancing Queen - *sighs* need you ask? It's ABBA of course. And is it only me who finds the line 'feel the beat from the tambourine' hilariously funny?
Run Riot – More Def Leppard! Didn't realise I'd put so many of their songs in this. *looks surprised* haven't listened to them for ages either! Hmm.
Light My Fire – The Doors. Accept no substitute.
Spin Spin Sugar – Sneaker Pimps. When they were vaguely good.
Hammer To Fall – Queen. Again!
BloodSugarSexMagik – Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Luuurve this song.
Locked Out – Crowded House. Was listening to it as I wrote it.
Left To My Own Devices – Pet Shop Boys Again. We love 'em!
Lady Luck – The Proclaimers – picked for the title.
Fight Music – Eminem. Forget about how everyone goes on about how crude he is. This man is beyond talented.
Take A Bow – Madonna. Although I used 'bow' in a very different sense. Weird how some words mean two completely different things – even though the spelling is the same.
Telling Stories – The Charlatans. Not really a fan – but the title fitted.
Home And Dry – The first (and probably not the last) song I have ever quoted in a fic. I heard it ages before I got to writing the last chapter and knew straight away that it had to be the title of the last chapter.
And now – Honourable mentions going out to all who reviewed in no particular order. *takes deep breath* "The author would like to thank…
